Andy Murray roars into final

Britain's Andy Murray powered into the second Grand Slam final of his career when he beat Marin Cilic at the Australian Open today.

Murray the Magnificent dropped the first set before sweeping aside the Croat, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2, in three hours and one minute.

If Murray, who reached the 2008 US Open final, wins the final on Sunday he will end Britain's 74-year wait for a male Grand Slam singles champion. Fred Perry was the last Brit to win a slam - the U.S. Open in 1936.

His opponent in the final will be decided on Friday when Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga lock horns in the other semifinal.
